Based on my profile, it sure doesn't look like it, but Rooster Teeth is a huge part of my life. The humor, camaraderie, and love that come from this company and its amazing community have helped me and countless others through tough times and given us great times.

Ever since I watched some weird online movie about colorful and stupid Spartans (which was only about three years ago) I've been in love. At some point, I've told all my friends about these assholes who play video games and this super rad anime and some obscure movie that isn't out yet, because honestly, I care too damn much a whole lot and want others to share in this crazy joyful family.

I am a Rooster Teeth fan because of unique and creative people and the brilliant content they genuinely and fully enjoy making. The RT cast and crew aren't just cast&crew, they're real, talented, and (extra)ordinary people who have managed to do something great and inspirational for tons of other people.

The shows are clever and hilarious, and bring hundreds of thousands, millions, of people into a group that's tight-knit and just plain fun. Everyone associated with Rooster Teeth is an individual, but at the same time, we can all relate to each other, and it's easy to find a friend in any fellow fan. The power and positivity behind such a great community is huge, and fueled by some of the coolest people on Earth.

I am an RT fan because of the good vibes so wholeheartedly and artfully put out by this company and because of the awesome community of friends I've found myself in. So happy birthday, cockbites, you've managed to weather the criticism of the internet for 12 years. Not a small feat.
